Aam Aadmi Party launched formally

At the Aam Aadmi Party’s public launch at Parliament Street on Monday, other claimants on the ‘aam aadmi’ shared close space with it. A Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) rally was demanding wages and rights for anganwadi workers, while the All India Confederation of SC/ST organisations was there for reservation in promotions and private sector.

Arvind Kejriwal announced the party’s first internal lokpal headed by justice Bhagwati Prasad and admiral Ramdass.

He reiterated that they had been forced to join electoral politics by the inability of the other parties to eradicate corruption and said that if they come to power, Lokpal would be formed in 15 days.
